6 Must Haves

I generally like to change my nail polish daily. Sometimes I like to do just a solid color, some days I want something simple but fun and some days I go crazy with it! I feel that there are a few must haves in your nail polish collection!

1. A good black color. Whether it is a solid black or a black with green glitter in it. I just think black can look so classy, especially on shorter nails.

2. A cool glitter polish. I have quite a few of these. You can use them for SO many things. You can just do a coat over a solid nail polish for some sparkle, or you can use it to build up a look.

3. A matte. I recently given a bottle of China Glaze - Matte Magic and it really is magic. I love the matte look. You can also use it to play with matte vs glossy. I love to do a matte coat of polish with the shiny tips.

4. A color changing fleck polish. I love these because they can go on any nail polish color, and you'll always get a different effect. For example, I can use Sinful Color's 'Green Ocean' on a black and it will reflect with blue, green and purple colors. Or I can put it on a bright green and it will reflect green and a cool peachy/pink color.

5. Hidden Treasure. This is a color changing fleck described in #2, but it's really a must have. It's SO amazing. I just think that everyone should have it. It's totally worth the money!

6. Lastly, a bold color. Everyone needs at least one bold color that they just love. I am always up for wearing obnoxious colors on my nails (like yellow) but I always feel like I can't go wrong with my bright purple, neon green or burnt orange. I just love them! Maybe these colors aren't for everyone, but you always want to have something for when you're feeling funky!

I also have a few polishes that didn't really pay off for me (I'm still experimenting with color combination), but it's ok because I can just look at them and be mesmerized. Sinful Color - Hottie and ORLY - Love Each Other. Both look amazing! I just wish they went on like they look.

I definitely don't have the biggest collection, but because I have these basics, I can get so many looks out of fewer polishes.
